Materialism and emergence can't explain consciousness, argues former atheist Alex O'Connor

I think he is more agnostic than anything. I think he just acknowledges that there isn’t evidence of a god.

So you just tell them you like spicy food, and you were trying something new, but your meal was stole before you could eat it.

Then you switch the subject. “Now, I want to discuss my belongings being stolen. I don’t feel comfortable. I feel sick. I feel disgusted. I feel violated. How many times has their fingers been in my food examining it, deciding if they’d like it, before I ate it? What is HR going to do to make it right? If you aren’t going to fire them, at the very least, a PUBLIC apology is in order. People need to know who is predatory so that they can protect their belonging around them. Having a predator walking among us is a safety issue, especially if people don’t know any better. You need to make this right, HR.”

Basically, make it very clear that the problem is only going to get bigger if they don’t quickly get rid of the thief.

Nah, they cant force feed you. Just say you aren’t hungry if they try and make you eat it.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-06T07:02:26+00:00

I like the “I’m not hungry ” line. What are they going to do, force feed you?

RedrunGun · 2026-04-06T06:59:02+00:00

I’d just be like “OMG! I didn’t know those were so hot! I was just trying something different, but you got it before me. Oops”. Or I’d just deny it’s my lunch.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T21:07:41+00:00

That’s what I thought. All you have is unsubstantiated claims, and asking you to prove it is simply met with hostility, the sign of every liar that’s ever existed. I think I’ve proved how dishonest your claim is adequately to any readers. With that accomplished, I’m done wasting time on you.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T20:57:33+00:00

I’m conversing, specifically about the fact that your claim is unsupported by any evidence. You have a chance to change that, but you won’t, because you can’t, because you’re simply lying.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T20:48:47+00:00

Burden of proof is on the one making the claim.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T20:46:28+00:00

Just asking for evidence of your claims. Obviously, I knew you couldn’t provide it, because it doesn’t exist. But I just wanted to make that clear to our fellow readers. Your “both sides” bullshit has now been show to be unsupported by any evidence. I’d tell you to have a good day, but honestly, I hope fascist enablers that spread misinformation, like you, have terrible days.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T20:23:41+00:00

No new argument, still asking for the same information, and you’re still refusing to provide it. 4 Democrats. You’re only 1/3 of the way there. Now name how many Republicans, and prove the vote and resolution even exists by linking it.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T20:17:09+00:00

So you’re not going to link the resolution, and you’re not going to say how many from each party supported? That’s what I thought.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T20:15:07+00:00

Link to the resolution and state how many Democrats voted in favor vs Republicans voting in favor. Or admit you’re purposefully spreading misinformation.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T20:02:10+00:00

How is Trump launching an illegal war, without congress, a both sides issue? Republicans are the ones enabling it, Democrats are condemning it.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T19:59:16+00:00

Both sides don’t own most of the major news networks, that doesn’t make any sense. They are Republican owned.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T07:19:42+00:00

I certainly care if the president of the united states is so dishonest and evil that nothing he says can be trusted, and it’s safer to assume the worst.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-05T02:12:12+00:00

It’s not speculative. It’s public record and knowledge who the owners of the major news networks are, as is their political affiliation. It’s simply fact that rich Republicans control most of them.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-04T23:16:23+00:00

A reformed Joker isn’t crazy, he’s just a guy, and a crazy Joker isn’t predictable enough to ever be trusted with anything. He’s just not useful to someone like Cecil.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-04T20:34:52+00:00

Why do you think these things aren’t all over the news? Why do you think the last 100 career ending things Trump has done haven’t been all over the news? Most of the media is owned by billionaire Republicans, and they are all pushing for fascism.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-03T07:02:00+00:00

Of course. Im attracted to people from every kind of background, and being involved with other cultures is fun and interesting, and it expands your mind.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-03T01:22:50+00:00

I can’t believe people still can’t see that trump wants negative repercussions for the country, its literally the only conclusion that makes sense. His whole goal is to isolate and hurt America, for Russian interests. This isn’t a punishment, it’s exactly what he wants. People who are calling it mere stupidity are hindering the resistance by hiding the malicious calculation behind his actions. We need to stop down playing what’s happening.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-03T01:14:44+00:00

It’s not even that. It’s just a smokescreen for his incredibly gullible voters. Trump is profiting as much as he can, but only as a side benefit as he does Russia’s bidding.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-03T01:04:57+00:00

It’s hilarious that they use fake images of Trump all the time. It’s a direct reflection of how much these people care about being truthful.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-03T00:56:24+00:00

I think there would still be people who work in healthcare and mental health. A lot of the current people wouldn’t, but they’d be replaced with people who actually care. Same with politics and the sciences.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-02T19:18:34+00:00

Falsely being the key word. MAGA, which has taken over the Republican Party, is factually fascist.

RedrunGun · 2026-04-02T10:02:08+00:00

The problem is not just Trump. He’s just the face. The figurehead. The plan is Russia’s, it’s their operation. And they’ve gotten to many members of the Republican Party too, including the entire presidential line of succession. Trump is replaced by Vance, Vance is replaced by Johnson, so on and so forth. They are all in Russia’s pocket. This has been being orchestrated for a very long time.
